It's a whole new Feud! It's
a whole new set! It's a whole new host! It's a whole new
30th anniversary! Let's get this party started proper!
|
Black (Holly,
Jason, Cheryl, Brady, Megan); $910 |
|
Maldonaldo
(Celeste, John, Judith, Leonard, Crystal) |
We're still playing to
300, and the quest to 300... starts now.
Round 1: a way which you
can make bathing a sexy experience (6). Celeste fires
with oils... #2. Holly's answer of a bikini? Not there.
And too bad for the Maldonados as the best answer they
can come up with is a 401K jelly. The Blacks try to
steal with candles... #3, giving them 24. The number
one: bring a friend. Other answer: rose petals, drink
wine, eat fruit.
Round 2: if your cell
phone rings while you're at church, who'd better be
calling (7)? Jason gets #7, the boss. John's wife is
good for #5. Judith's daddy is #2. Leonard's kids are
good for #3. Crystal's doctor is #6. But no number one
yet, as we go to the Blacks again... "We're at church...
God better be callin'." God is #1 (of course), giving
the Blacks a 53-point advantage. Other answer: sibling.
Double: 100 women, a
place you'd hate to discover you were growing hair (5).
Cheryl gets #1, the nose. Chest, back, ears, and toes
round out the sweep for 241-0.
Triple: an actor named
Kevin (4). Brady gets #3, Kevin Spacey. Leonard...
blanks. Megan goes with Kevin Costner for #1! Kevin
Bacon and Kevin Kline round out another sweep, giving
the Blacks the shutout, 535-0.
(C-Note: Will someone
please remind the cinematographer that the scores are
now displayed on the big board? Thanks)
Jason and Cheryl try
their hand at Fast Money. Jason gets 142. Cheryl
stumbles a bit, but gets the rest for $20,000, giving
them $20,910.
In the nightcap, the
Shedds (Christie, Jill, Bill, Cody, Casey) trail the
Davises (Phillip, Jolene, Joanne, Jessica, Monet),
258-0. Triple: an animal that snorts (4). Cody fires
with a pig for top answer. Dogs, horses, and bulls also
snort to get back in this game with 279.
Sudden Death: something
that might fall out when you get older. That's Casey.
"Your hair." That's a win for the Shedds, 432-258.
Christie and Cody team up
for 151, giving them $755. And if you look quickly, you
see the digital readout that tells John how to multiply
by five. |

Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: Check local listings or
jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek |
|
Back for season 23 in the
glory of high definition... THIS... IS... JEOPARDY!
|
Brad Jeffcoat
(student from Vidalia, GA); $16,400 |
|
Lauren Hirs
(market research analyst orig. from Plano, TX) |
|
Dan Cordova
(sales representative from Santa Ana, CA) |
Brad had a whole summer
to think about this next game. Let's see if he can
deliver the goods.
After a beautifully
played, and beautiful looking, first half of the round,
Brad leads with $800 to Lauren and Dan's $1200 a pop.
Last clue belongs to
Brad, as he gets the Daily Double, $1000 in State
Insects. With $7000 of gambling money to Dan's $5200 and
Lauren's $3800, he bets $2500 on this: it's tough to
separate church & state in Connecticut while having this
as state insect. "What is... I have no idea." It's the
preying mantis, as Brad drops to second with $4500,
while Lauren, still in third, gets first pickings of the
board in Double Jeopardy!...
... with $400 Mother
Russia, where we find Cheryl delivering the clues. It's
also where Dan finds the first Daily Double, a video
under $1600. He bets $6000, almost all of his money.
Here's Cheryl: "I'm here in the town originally called 'Tsarskoe
Selo', which in 1937 was renamed for this Russian poet."
"What is Gorky?" Not right, as Pushkin drops him like a
bad habit to $400. Brad finds the other Daily Double
under $2000 You Do the Math. He bets only half the level
on 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/10 + 1/15. "What is 1/30?" Should've
stopped at 1. He drops to $8300. That's where he ends
the round, as Lauren leads, $15,400 to Dan's $2000.
Final Jeopardy! in
"Plants": in tropical Africa it's the main source of
calories in the diet; in the US it gives us a pudding.
Correct question: what is tapioca?
Brad gets it right to
double up. Lauren, though, also gets it right and bets
enough to win with $16,601 and becoming our first champ
this season. |

¿Qué
Dice La Gente? by Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: 7p ET/6p CT on Telefutura
Host: Marco Antonio Regil |
|
Today, monsters of urban
music take on the masters of Univision Radio... But
first, another VIP matchup between...
|
Housewives (Monica,
Jenny, Alexandra, Marina, Claudia) |
|
Bodybuilders (Frank, Heyner, Miguel, Carlos,
Alex) |
Housewives aren't so
desperate as they lead after four, 217 to 109.
Triple Round: other than
a mosquito, an insect that flies (3). Claudia gets the
obvious answer, a fly. A bee and a butterfly do it for
the housewives, 412-109. Sisters are doing it for
themselves.
Dinero Rápido: Monica and
Claudia step up. Monica gets 107. Claudia gets only 83
more, giving the team $500.
Now the marquee matchup...
|
Música Urbana
(Ivy Queen, Cheka, Johnny of Crooked Stilo, Victor
of Crooked Stilo, DJ Panic), playing for the
American Foundation for the Blind |
|
Univision Radio
(El Piolin, Javier Romero, Raul Brindis, Roxana,
Kazzanova); playing for the American Cancer Society |
So far, the DJs are
spanking the artists, 230-0, after three rounds. Double:
something that falls out of bed in the middle of the
night. Roxana falls out of bed for number one. Pillows
and blankets are good for the sweep and the shutout,
428-0.
Raul is first at the
Dinero Rápido board, as we don't even bother with the
lucky table this week. Raul gets 74. Roxana gets ...
only up to 108. They get $500 for their charity. |

Stump
the Schwab by Chico Alexander, GSNN
Air time: 7p ET/6p CT on ESPN Classic
Host: Stuart Scott & Howie Schwab |
|
|
Brian "B-Stroh" Stroh
(tax accountant from Somers, NY) |
| Mark
Cohen
(father of 13-year-old from Fort Worth, TX) |
| Joe
"The Mighty Putner" Putnam
(student from Bellefonte, PA; returnee from season
2) |
|
Schwab's Jackpot:
$4000 |
Leading Off: the
Hurricanes... and the other 15 NHL playoff teams lead us
off. Mark is flush after 3. Joe runs us out with 5 to
Brian and Schwab's 4 a piece. Next, AL/NL Managers of
the Year since 1996. Schwab, 8, Joe, 7, Mark, 6, Brian,
5. Finally, 24 players in NBA history averaging 30+ PPG
in a season. That round gives Schwab 15. Joe has 9 and
Brian has 11. Mark... I think I hear a 13-year-old
calling.
Who's Got More?: round 1
ends with Joe knowing more about NFL/AFL passers than
Brian knew about NFL/AFL rushers, as he leads, 13-12. No
one's gotten one wrong yet. Round 2... MLB career wins
or career saves. Brian bumps his score to 36 on career
wins. Joe needs 12 to win in career saves. He gets...
10. Final score: 36-33 in favor of Brian!
The Schwab Showdown: The
categories are... The Air Up There (really tall NBA
players), Tight Squeeze (NFL tight ends), Hab a Nice Day
(Le Canadiens du Montreal... pardon my sucky French),
and On Your Marks (Olympic sprinters).
Brian gets his first
strike on On Your Marks for 1. Other than that, the
Schwab manages to eat another opponent alive thanks to a
7'5" NC State sub. Schwab wins, 12-11.

Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire? by Don Harpwood, GSNN
Air time: Check local listings or
millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira |
|
Millionaire is back for
Season 5 in syndication! Only one change this time
around; no more AOL Instant Messenger results when a
player asks the audience. With that out of the way,
let's go!
Starting things off today is Nishi St. John
(Friendswood, TX). She's currently a stay-at-home mom,
but she used to be a civil engineer. There, she was
overseeing the construction of fire stations and ferry
terminals. But she feels that dealing with 2 boys at
home is a lot harder. I think a million bucks might make
things just a bit easier. So, with that, Nishi gets
things going by knowing that in a common saying taught
to parrots, Polly is asked if she "wants a cracker". She
sweeps the lower tier to secure $1,000, then soon faces
this...
[$4,000]
When accepting an Oscar for acting in 2006, what triple
nominee joked "All right, so I'm not winning director"?
A: Philip Seymour Hoffman
B: George Clooney
C: Terrence Howard
D: Paul Giamatti
Nishi decides to ask the audience, and 86% of them says
B. She trusts them... and they're right! Moving on...
[$8,000]
Due to gas prices, bike sales in 2005 approached records
set during the Arab oil embargo of what decade?
A: 1990s
B: 1980s
C: 1970s
D: 1960s
The 50:50 leaves B and C. Nishi guesses C... and it's C!
Next question...
[$16,000]
What TV drama shares its title with a 1965 hit song
popularized by R&B singer Fontella Bass?
A: Rescue Me
B: Without a Trace
C: One Tree Hill
D: Big Love
Nishi knows that A is the name of a song, but she isn't
sure if it's also the name of a show. With that in mind,
she calls her good friend, Riddi, but she doesn't really
know. After a bit more thought, Nishi decides to walk
with $8,000. And it turns out that it was indeed A.
Next up is Jason Vernier (San Diego, CA), who enters in
his Navy uniform. He's a water survival instructor,
which means he trains others in the Navy and the Marines
on how to survive various water-based situations. The
thing is, his 2 biggest fears are heights... and water.
Um, yeah. Anyway, Jason starts by knowing that an
adjective that is often used to describe manual-labour
jobs is "blue-collar" (though I bet some of them would
consider themselves underpaid as well). He completes the
lower tier, then soon has this to ponder...
[$4,000]
Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn first began denying
they were an item while working together on what 2006
movie?
A: Friends With Money
B: The Lake House
C: Just My Luck
D: The Break-Up
Jason asks the audience, and an overwhelming 95% has
voted for D. He goes with that... and it's D! Next
question...
[$8,000]
A Sinologist specializes in the study of what nation's
history, language, and culture?
A: China
B: India
C: Italy
D: France
Jason doesn't know, so after some consideration of what
to do, he calls John, known to him as Lt. Champaign. The
lieutenant says Japan at first, but seeing as that's not
a choice, he says he's 80-90% sure that it's A. Jason
trusts him... and he's right!
And that will do it for the first show of the new
season. Jason will be back tomorrow. |
